Any idea why, of the Big Three affils, only KIRO had translators for outlying areas, and not KOMO or KING? Perhaps TV Guide never got any info about 4 or 5 having them, you think?

Any idea why, of the Big Three affils, only KIRO had translators for outlying areas, and not KOMO or KING?

Maybe KIRO was broadcasting at a lower power or elevation than the others? Many of these translators, especially Renton, Mercer Island and Bellevue, are within close proximity of Seattle.

 

[TexasTom]

I grew up in Tacoma, and am pretty sure that channels 4 and 5 never had any translators in the immediate Puget Sound area like 7 did. All three stations ran maximum power from towers of similar height on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, so there was no reason why 7 should have had worse reception.

As an aside, all three stations were carried on translators in outlying areas -- I remember seeing very snowy signals on channels 8 (relaying channel 4 from Seattle), 10 (relaying channel 5), and 12 (relaying channel 7) out at Ocean Shores, near Aberdeen and Hoquaim.

On an unrelated note: the absence of any programs labelled as being in color on KTVW channel 13 was not an error -- channel 13 did not get the equipment to allow them to run color programming until the fall of 1972. Until then, everything on the station was in black and white.

Only one hour of Today, assuming Telescope was a local news/yakfest.

KING has taken the "weird" afternoon part of the daytime NBC left coast
schedule and made it even "worse." At noon PT, NBC kept right on going
instead of the half-hour hole (1 ET/12 CT). I assume Wunda Wunda is a
local show, so it appears they delayed the 12-1 PT shows to 3-4.

The (local? syndicated?) show from 7-8 PM pushed The Monkees to Saturday
as you will note on the Saturday schedules in a separate thread.

Capt. Kangaroo 8:30-9 AM--only the second half of the show?

Isn't the :25 CBS News at 9 AM a delay from--IIRC--a double
run at either 7 or 7:05 and 7:30 or 7:35 AM? A five-hour or more
delay from the original live show on the east coast. The 9 AM
CBS daytime show (Candid Camera) delayed until 3:30 PM.

Two five-minute early-evening newsbreaks and ten minutes at
11 PM? That's it for their evening newscasts? Geez, who owned
KIRO then? I can't believe it was Bonneville.

9:30-11 PM a local movie preempting (or delaying to other days)
Family Affair, To Tell The Truth (replaced Jean Arthur in December)
and I've Got A Secret.

 

[bpatrick]

ABC used the Eastern version of daytime on the West Coast
until around 1974, when KABC and KGO expanded their newscasts
and their afternoon movies moved from 4:30 to 3:30. For a time
there were some weird things, like "The Money Maze" (4 PM ET/
11 AM PT) and "The Big Showdown" (2:30 PM ET/11:30 AM PT);
I think within a couple or three years ABC was using the Central
time version of daytime.

I'm not sure, but I think NBC made the change to the straight Central
time version when "Days Of Our Lives" moved to noon CT.

 

[Markieo]

"Captain Nice" and "Mr. Terrific", almost identical clones of each other, airing on the same evening! And The Monkees pre-empted.

 

[azumanga]

"Captain Nice" and "Mr. Terrific", almost identical clones of each other, airing on the same evening!

Which was how it was during their entire run. Why it was like that, I have no idea.

 

[wbhist]

ABC used the Eastern version of daytime on the West Coast
until around 1974, when KABC and KGO expanded their newscasts
and their afternoon movies moved from 4:30 to 3:30.

I seem to recall that prior to spring 1974, KABC's and KGO's afternoon movies started at 6:30.

 

[searadiofreak]

Wow! This is a fascinating one for me, because I was just 7 years old living in Seattle at the time. No real recollection of anything, other than watching cartoons and Sullivan with the family on Sunday night. But, interesting that both KING and KOMO had no local news until 6:30, and KIRO apparently had just 5-minute casts beginning at 5:25. Also interesting that 11 and 13 both had prime time news during this period. My guess, pretty much "radio on tv" due to limited news staffs. Things changed just five years later, with the locals going to 5:30, and even 5:00 eventually.

Could be, but I seem to recall that both stations expanded their local news
to 5-7 PM and moved ABC News to 7 PM in 1974. At any rate I do know that
by the end of the year ABC was feeding some of its daytime shows to the left
coast at odd times; for example, the two game shows I mentioned above.

Capt. Kangaroo 8:30-9 AM--only the second half of the show?

I am from Vancouver, BC, and this was before I moved to Vancouver, but J.P. Patches was THE program for all children, young and old. Kangaroo, never made much of an impact in this area, and was all but gone from the sched, when I moved to Vancouver in 1970. Notice that J.P. was on twice a day. In 1970, the show was only on once a day, but expanded to 90 minutes. Wunda Wunda was another kid show that was gone by the time I moved to Vancouver.

 

[azumanga]

I am from Vancouver, BC, and this was before I moved to Vancouver... Kangaroo, never made much of an impact in this area, and was all but gone from the sched, when I moved to Vancouver in 1970.

Did KIRO and/or KVOS pre-empt the captain wround that time? That show did not leave CBS until the mid-1980s.
